On today's episode, Yaron Werber, John Maraganore, Sam Fazeli, and Matt Gline open with a discussion of biotech market volatility, with Matt noting that it often seems driven more by opaque factor dynamics than company-specific fundamentals. The group then turns to Eli Lilly's continued “Amazonification” and reinventing the pharma business as it acquires a variety of different companies, including this week's $2.8B upfront acquisition of Atai Beckley, a psychedelic-focused company. The conversation turns to BioCentury's reporting on Asia-to-West NewCos, prompting a debate about whether China is uniquely changing the market or simply reflects broader shifts in cheaper, faster development. On policy, the group covers BIO's response to the OMB proposal that could inject political review into federal grant decisions. The co-hosts also debate Kalshi's move to create prediction markets around clinical trial and regulatory outcomes. On pipeline updates, the group discusses Merck's approval of Lipfendra, the first oral PCSK9 drug, and the broader class implications. In CNS, Biogen and Ionis' diranersen tau ASO data spark a discussion of aconfusing dose response, ASO tolerability, tau as a target in Alzheimer's disease, and the promise of alternative modalities from Arrowhead and Alnylam. The episode closes with M&A and financing, including AstraZeneca's licensing deal with Dizal for the EGFR exon 20 inhibitor sunvozertinib andErasca's RAF data plus its $500M financing, which Sam views as a strong market signal despite a volatile biotech backdrop.

Yevhen Tarasenko, CMO and co-founder of Apptonomy, joins Apptivate to discuss how app store optimization is evolving in the age of AI. After more than a decade in ASO, Yevhen shares how the discipline has changed from a keyword-focused practice into a broader challenge of app discoverability across app stores, search engines, Reddit, and large language models. The conversation explores the limitations of traditional ASO workflows, how AI is changing the way marketers analyze visibility, and why app teams need to think beyond rankings and metadata to succeed in a world increasingly shaped by AI recommendations and automated discovery. Questions addressed in this episode How did Yevhen get started in ASO? Why is app store optimization still so manual? What inspired the creation of Apptonomy? How can AI automate parts of the ASO workflow? What is AI discoverability and why does it matter? How are large language models changing app discovery? Why is Reddit becoming increasingly important for app visibility? What were the biggest AI and ASO themes at MAU Vegas? How should app marketers prepare for AI-driven search and discovery? What advice would Yevhen give someone entering ASO today?

Now we're using Claude, next month we're using ChatGPT or something else, and the quality standards with AI are not quite there.” (8:21) “ASO, even in 2026, is still very manual and boring, and people are tired of doing the same thing all over again.” (18:28) “AI will not replace ASO anytime soon.

Cerramos la séptima temporada de Sports Inside con un especial sobre el Tour de Francia, que ha convertido Barcelona y Catalunya en epicentro mundial del ciclismo. Analizamos el impacto económico de la salida, el modelo de negocio de ASO, el reparto del prize money y el eterno debate sobre el poder de los equipos en el ciclismo profesional.Además, hablamos con Pedro Iriondo, CEO de Badalona Women, sobre el proyecto de Mercury/13 en Liga F, la oportunidad de construir un club femenino desde cero y el potencial de crecimiento del fútbol femenino en España. Y, a raíz de la entrevista, explicamos la entrada de Gasol Ventures en Liga F, la polémica con algunos clubes y el nuevo escenario comercial y audiovisual que se abre para la competición.El paso del Tour por Barcelona y Catalunya sirve para abrir un debate de fondo: ¿quién captura realmente el valor en el ciclismo profesional? El Tour es el gran producto global del ciclismo, pero los equipos siguen dependiendo casi exclusivamente del patrocinio y no participan de forma directa en los principales ingresos de la competición.Durante el capítulo analizamos el peso de ASO, propietaria del Tour, La Vuelta y el Dakar, y su capacidad para controlar buena parte del calendario y del negocio ciclista. También repasamos el reparto de premios del Tour: el ganador se lleva 500.000 euros, el vencedor de etapa 11.000 euros y los maillots generan pequeñas cantidades diarias que se acumulan en un bote común del equipo.La reflexión principal: el Tour factura alrededor de 150 millones de euros al año, pero reparte poco más de 2 millones en premios. El debate, más que sobre los ciclistas top —que ya cuentan con grandes contratos—, está en la sostenibilidad de los equipos y en si los organizadores deberían compartir una parte mayor del pastel.Catalunya se sube a la bici del Tour: inversión de más de 15 millones y retorno de 120 millonesASO, el imperio rentable del ciclismo: ya gana uno de cada tres euros facturadosHablamos con Pedro Iriondo, CEO de Badalona Women, el proyecto de Mercury/13 en Liga F tras la adquisición del antiguo Levante Las Planas.Iriondo explica por qué decidió embarcarse en un proyecto de fútbol femenino tras su experiencia en consultoría, FIFA y el Olympique de Marsella. Su argumento central es claro: en el fútbol tradicional casi todo son marcas con más de cien años de historia, pero el fútbol femenino ofrece una oportunidad poco habitual: construir un club desde cero.Badalona Women quiere aprovechar tres activos:Una ubicación potente, dentro del área metropolitana de Barcelona.Un estadio céntrico, con capacidad para alrededor de 4.000 espectadores y una reforma en marcha.Una identidad propia, sin ser la sección femenina de un club masculino ni la segunda opción de nadie.El club quiere conectar primero con Badalona, construir comunidad local y, desde ahí, atraer a familias, aficionados jóvenes y marcas interesadas en un relato diferente dentro del fútbol femenino.La entrevista da pie a analizar la entrada de Gasol Ventures en el negocio comercial de Liga F junto a Fortify Partners.Documental 'Noruega vuelve al ruedo'Plataforma: NetflixFormato: Miniserie documentalEpisodios: 2 capítulos de alrededor de una horaDirección: Emil TrierProducción: November FilmSports, Inside cierra su séptima temporada y volverá la semana del 17 de agosto, con nuevo episodio previsto para el 21 de agosto.A partir de ahora, el podcast diario de 2Playbook pasará a tener su propio feed.

Relentless Health Value
How Do You Explain the Difference Between an ASO Vendor and a TPA? With Claire Brockbank. Episode 518

The ASO vs. TPA Decision That Quietly Costs Self-Funded Employers More What's the real difference between an ASO and a TPA — and why does it matter that self-insured employers working with an ASO pay, by one referenced estimate, about 4.7% more than the insured book of business for the same care? In this Ask Me Anything, Stacey Richter puts a listener question from Dr. Alex Sommers, MD, ABEM, DipABLM, president of Astia Health, to Claire Brockbank, newly appointed director of the 32BJ Health Fund, who breaks down how ASO and TPA models diverge on ownership, networks, and incentives.  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ How an ASO (administrative services only) arrangement differs structurally from a TPA (third-party administrator) — in Claire Brockbank's words, an ASO is essentially "a TPA that's owned by one of the big insurance carriers" ✅ Why bringing your own network, doing carve-outs, or direct contracting is typically much easier with a TPA than with an ASO, since an ASO's network comes bundled in ✅ How ASO incentive structures can lead carriers to charge self-funded employers more to offset thinner margins on their insured book — and why a study referenced by Luke Prettol found self-insured ASO clients pay roughly 4.7% more on average ✅ Why many TPAs, as newer market entrants built around technology, can move faster on things like claims-audit integrations than legacy carrier systems that can take up to 18 months to implement changes ✅ A real-world example of how network rigidity under an ASO made it difficult for one employer to remove 40 identified unsafe physicians from its network ✅ Why reading a TPA contract carefully still matters, since aligned incentives are a structural possibility with a TPA, not a guarantee WHY THIS MATTERS ASO and TPA are routinely used interchangeably across the industry, but as Claire Brockbank lays out, the distinction isn't just terminology — it's what determines how much actual control a self-funded employer has over its own health plan. An ASO bundles in the carrier's network and legacy systems, often with built-in incentive misalignments that can show up as higher costs than the insured book of business pays. A TPA leaves more room to bring your own network, negotiate direct contracts, and move quickly when something needs to change. For any plan sponsor sorting out vendor options, knowing which model is actually on the table is foundational to getting the rights, rates, and flexibility they're after.

Join the show live every Thursday for a conversation you can't find anywhere else: https://grow.payrollinpodcast.com/ Are you spending too much time chasing new payroll clients while ignoring the revenue already sitting in your client base? Most payroll providers focus heavily on new sales, but the data tells a different story. ADP expects roughly 50% of its new revenue to come from existing customers, and when they expand a payroll client into HR, ASO, or PEO services, the lifetime value can increase dramatically. In this episode of The Payroll Growth Show, Matt Vaadi breaks down how payroll companies can generate more revenue, improve retention, and create deeper client relationships without increasing their marketing budget.

How does an ASO specialist with 10+ years of experience think about AI visibility in 2026?In this episode of Intelligent Artifice, Simon Thillay from AppTweak shares what the data actually shows about how AI tools like ChatGPT are discovering and recommending apps today. ChatGPT owns the platform. Grammarly is outranking it inside its own answers. Simon knows exactly why.This conversation covers what is actually changing in app store optimization, how AI visibility works differently from traditional ASO, and why the gap between apps that show up in AI-generated answers and those that don't is already opening up.AppTweak's research found that the most cited domain in ChatGPT answers for app-related queries is the App Store itself. Simon's team tested the same intent across ten different phrasings and found Grammarly consistently outranking ChatGPT for business writing app recommendations inside ChatGPT. The difference was not product quality. It was how Grammarly positioned itself for specific user contexts across its app store presence.Simon also points to one specific part of the App Store listing that most ASO teams have never touched, and explains why it is now one of the strongest levers for AI visibility in 2026.Video Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Podcast Technical Mishaps 00:46 – How AI is Changing App Store Visibility 01:42 – Pre-searching Apps via LLMs (ChatGPT Traffic) 02:14 – The Role of App Store Optimization (ASO) in AI Answers 02:40 – Optimizing Long Descriptions for AI Search 03:19 – Writing for Humans vs. Writing for AI (User Personas) 04:08 – Structuring Content & Entity-Based Writing for AI 05:07 – Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) & The Open Web Ecosystem 06:26 – How to Audit Your App's AI Visibility (Intent vs. Prompts) 07:11 – Case Study: Grammarly Outperforming ChatGPT on Niche Intents 07:54 – Measuring AEO Impact: Coverage, Rank, and Sentiment 09:02 – Where to Find Simon ThillayTopics covered:App Store optimization and AI visibility in 2026How ChatGPT and LLMs discover and recommend appsAEO strategy for mobile appsEntity-based writing for app store listingsMeasuring AI visibility across coverage, rank, and sentimentAppTweak research on AI-driven app discoveryLearn more: https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/aso-for-ai-simon-thillay/- Episode pagehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-thillay-58b95997/- Connect with Simon on LinkedIn

EP510: The Impact on You of Medicare Advantage Goings-on (2026 Edition), With Betsy Seals

Relentless Health Value

I came up with at least one way to tell the difference between making a fair profit and profiteering. If someone makes more money when the patients or members they serve are worse off, yeah, call that profiteering. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. For more on what is fair profit versus what is profiteering, I would recommend you go back and listen to the episodes on mission and margin with Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA (EP481) and then with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). But it's probably not an accident that I have started an episode about Medicare Advantage in this fashion. To this end, I am very much looking forward to hearing what's up with Medicare Advantage from the one and only Betsy Seals, who is back for her third appearance on Relentless Health Value. And her advice in a nutshell is this: Don't profiteer. There are ample ways to make a fair profit. Just go back to basics and do it the right way. I wanna kind of tick through the list of things that I think about when I think about Medicare Advantage and just how it is relevant to absolutely everybody. The first thing I think about when I think about Medicare Advantage—and this is very obvious—is what Medicare Advantage plans do or don't do are our tax dollars at work or not at work, as the case may be. Along these same lines, the second thing: How does this impact our elders, our family, our friends, our grandparents? These are our senior citizens, getting the care or not getting the care that they may need. Those two are obvious. Now let's talk about a few less obvious things. Here's the third point that I think about as I listen to conversations about Medicare Advantage: cost shifting. Right? It is a well-known fact how big, vertically integrated carriers—and when I say big, vertically integrated carriers, I mean ones that have a Medicare Advantage line of business—when negotiating with big, consolidated health systems, the release valve of those negotiations is commercial rates. These are the rates that the self-insured employers are paying. So, the carrier says, "Look, gimme the best Medicare Advantage rates. I want the best Medicare Advantage rates because I, the carrier, am paying for those." Savings from those lower rates accrues to the Medicare Advantage plan and its shareholders or investors or executives, right? So, the carrier with the Medicare Advantage plan is like, "Look, go as low as we can go on the Medicare Advantage rates, but it's okay, health system, if you make up the difference with the ASO commercial book of business." Because right … ASO means administrative services only. It's not the carrier who's paying those commercial rates at the end of the day. So, the carrier uses its full book of business to negotiate lower rates for itself while, at the same time, cost shifting to commercial members. In fact, there was some research that was cited. It was episode 436 with Elizabeth Mitchell, and I quoted Luke Prettol. But there was research that puts this markup at 4.7% above what employers would otherwise pay if they had an ASO that did not have a Medicare Advantage Plan. So, yeah … number three big thing that I think about when listening to MA insights like the ones that Betsy drops today, I think about will this accelerate or ameliorate or really have anything to do with what is going on around those negotiating tables with ASOs and health systems? Because let's not forget, health systems account for about 50% of most self-insured employers' total health spend. The fourth thing that I think about: Will MA carriers underpay independent practices, especially primary care practices? Will it pay indies less? And then if it pays 'em a lot less, would ultimately manage to put them out of business, ultimately raising the total cost of care for everybody. But if we're thinking about this strictly from Medicare Advantage financial perspective, a really great move here, these are big, vertically integrated companies, don't forget. Many of them own provider organizations. This is why the FTC tends to frown on vertical integration. So, will these Medicare Advantage organizations who own provider organizations pay the provider organizations they own more? By the way, it's the same thing that's going on on the pharmacy side of the house when a PBM pays pharmacies that they own more. Here's a LinkedIn post by Stanley Warren about this topic. And there are a lot of obvious, maybe less obvious reasons for why paying providers the carrier itself owns more is a great short-term move. One of them is intracompany eliminations. Listen to the episode with Preston Alexander (EP482). But here's another reason: Rate increases paid by the government for Medicare Advantage plans are based on fee-for-service benchmarks. So, if fee-for-service rates go up, then the Medicare Advantage plans can negotiate more money for themselves. If the MA plans own the providers that are charging said FFS rates, then this is, I don't know, a great strategy, especially given the lobbying budget that some of these entities have. So, look … on today's show, I get the distinct opportunity to speak with Betsy Seals, my guest today, as I mentioned earlier; and we go through her advice for MA plans and what they need to get busy with and ensure, make a fair profit, go back to basics, and do it the right way. That's her bottom-line advice. Don't be putting your hands in the cookie jar. Sooner or later, you're gonna get caught. Focus on the members that you're really good at serving. And lastly, when it comes to STARS or other quality measures, lift them the right way—like, actually through better member health and actually better member experience, not some engineered mechanism by which one can check a box that honestly doesn't deserve to get checked. Because now we're back to the beginning and you're gonna get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, and it's profiteering. Let's just get real about that. If somebody's checking boxes that they don't deserve to check, member health is not improving. Betsy Seals, my guest today, as I have said at least three times, co-founded Rebellis Group, which is a Medicare Advantage consultancy. She became CEO of its parent company, Alerion Advisors. Now she is a board member, and also she works with start-ups in our industry.

On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, Brett Monia, Ph.D., CEO at Ionis Pharmaceuticals, talks about how antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) graduated from a late-1980s lab concept to real RNA-targeting medicines, and why Ionis stuck with a difficult modality despite multiple setbacks. Brett describes the company's shift from a partner-first model to building a wholly-owned pipeline, commercial function, and an expanded manufacturing operation, and how he as a founding scientist-turned-CEO bridged a skills gap in finance and investor relations. Access this and hundreds of episodes of the Business of Biotech videocast under the Business of Biotech tab at lifescienceleader.com.  Subscribe to our monthly Business of Biotech newsletter.

On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome Matt Vaadi, longtime payroll industry exec, CEO of GuHRoo, and host of The Payrollin' Podcast, to take the pulse on the small businesses buyer and talk about the realities of the marketplace for SMB HR and payroll solutions.  From tech-first vs service-first buyers to the rise of niche payroll providers, Matt offers an insider's view of how small and mid-sized businesses are buying, switching, and scaling HR and payroll today. The conversation explores why overcrowding in the HCM and payroll market is reshaping go-to-market strategies, why centers of influence like CPAs, brokers, and consultants are more powerful than ever, and how private equity and consolidation are quietly redefining PEO and ASO models. The group also digs into the future of embedded payroll, AI-driven automation, and why many SMB buyers are demanding API-driven, workflow-centric platforms instead of traditional systems. Matt shares how specialization is driving higher growth and valuations, and what HR tech and payroll vendors must do to stay competitive in a market where trust, simplicity, and integration now matter more than brand.

With the racing hotting up all over the pro cycling world, we return with the same Friebe-Birnie-Hatch trio as last week to review the latest action and talking points. The biggest news story of the week was ASO's decision to hand Spanish outfit Caja Rural a Tour de France wild card at the expense of the Unibet Rose Rockets. We discuss to what extent Caja's place on the startline in Barcelona is justified and the case for the opposition i.e. the Rockets.One man who'll certainly be heading to the Tour, barring accident, is Remco Evenepoel. His three wins in his first three outings for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe in Mallora augur well for the rest of season. Daniel's question is: could Remco even be the man to ruin Tadej Pogačar's Sanremo dream?Another candidate for that role, of course, is Mathieu van der Poel. He won his eighth world cyclocross title at the weekend, which has us wondering about the Winter Olympics extending his career in the discipline.EPISODE SPONSORSIndeedIf you are looking to hire someone for your company, maybe the best way isn't to search for a candidate but to match with Indeed.
